Pedal and Ponder Thoughts from the Saddle

 
While logging miles on my bicycle the other day I started to think about the living quarters for my bike vs. a horse.
Now while this may seem trivial to most, we must remember that not all horses and not all bicycles have ideal places to stay.  If horses were all treated as they should be we would not hear about the horror stories of how they...

Gazebo Function and Size

Gazebo Function and Size

 
If you are considering a gazebo for function, know in advance how it will be used and for how many people so you can determine your ideal gazebo size. A hospital for example, may want to consider a larger gazebo that can be used by the employees, staff and visitors and will need to be able to comfortably fit 10-12 people at once. A retired couple however, may want a smaller gazebo just...

Life After Chickens The Next Big Thing?

 
A question I am starting to hear more and more in my line of work is, what’s the next big thing going to be? 
 
Like many people today, raising chickens for both hobby and as a means of living a more self sustaining life style has become very popular.  Not to mention, how good are those fresh eggs?

Pool Houses, Storage and Fun, All In One

 

So here we are in the thick of summer.  The heat is in full effect and for us here in PA we are enjoying that wonderful humidity that we all love to not love.
A few weeks ago we talked about outdoor living.  Pergolas, gazebos, pavilions were the hot topic and are still some of the best ways to catch a bit of shade outdoors....

Garages or Man Lodges

Oh yes, the humble garage. Call it what you will. The ever-famous place to put everything from the family vehicles, tools, sports equipment and all-terrain “toys” to gardening supplies and lawn mowers is evolving. Your garage has probably had something similar to all of the above (…and more) inside it at one time or another.

Today’s garage has moved beyond boring storage and a place to park the family car. It now serves as a many-facetted jewel offering unlimited options. To the home owner who has children returning from college (for the summer or beyond…) the second story of a...

Severe Weather - Think About Your Horse

 
  
Last time we talked about the heat of summer quickly creeping up on both us and our horse partners and the simple, inexpensive things we can do to keep them healthy and comfortable.

Outdoor Living Tis the Season

Now that the warmer weather finally seems to be here to stay, my thoughts as I am sure yours do, turn to spending time outside. Working in the yard to achieve the perfect garden and flower bed and of course one of the most popular things to do during great weather, grilling and spending time with friends and family.
Some of us like a simple porch area or deck to spend this time with our...

Quality In The Details

 

While most people's first impression of a barn is based on the exterior color or finish and of course the size of the barn can make a great statement when sitting on a great piece of land.  That same barn can gain an entirely new level of grandure when you start to check out the fine details of that structure.
At Horizon Structures we pride ourselves on the quality...
